My very first site by me!!!

Can you believe it? I managed to sit and set up a very simple site so it will help my students. With the help of our 2 facilitators, Dorothy & Gerhard. It was interesting to see how I needed to put things together. I started with looking at all the other sites I have created in the past. I only had my 2016 class site and my 2017 class site. My class site for 2017 really need some touch up, I am sure it will happen by the end of this term.

I managed to pick what format I needed to use. I picked the 3 columns with a heading so I can name my site. The challenging part of this, was when I tried to set up my heading. I learnt to - day that google draw is the best to use and to set the margins with 1200 so it will fit in the box perfectly. To insert a clip, it has to be on custom and type in 340x340 depending on the format I am using.

When my heading was done, I went into my 3 columns and inserted all the information that I have created with my teachers on a padlet. This was about a story called, The Lion and the mouse. We have collected things using the multi modal format. We used the information to make up our sites. This has been a great experience where I sit and set up my own site. It is a new beginning for me. I just need to continue on doing this to help me improve and so are my learners.

Every good thing will come to an end, it is exactly how I feel right now. It is the last day of our DFI. I have always looked forward to seeing everyone on Fridays. It is a day of learning and a day of gathering all the information that I can use in class or at school.

To-day is a new stepping stone to a better understanding about google and its usage. I will try to be the best in what I do by using all I have learnt. Google usage not just at school but also with my other stuff at home.

I was also reminded to-day about the network that we can use around New Zealand. There's always someone to lend a hand if I will need help. I am definitely going to use them if I am stuck with anything. I will also try to achieve my goals of being a Visible teacher. It will be an ongoing goal. Theres opportunities out there for everyone on the Manaiakalani Website.

Thank you to all my fellow colleagues who journeyed with us every Friday this 3rd Term of 2017. Malo 'aupito to our facilitators, D…

23rd August, 2017.
At DFI to-day, I learnt to use multi modals when I am planning my lessons for class. It is an opportunity for me to see that my planning can be done using these ways. This is to help my learners find their way using many options of modals. When my learners will be happy, they will enjoy to learn more. These are the thing that I have found and will use in my learning and teaching. This post is mainly to remind me of multi modal. Multi Modal as well as multi text - Writing/ Books.

Link to my New SiteKia Ora, te na kotou, te na kotou katoa. It is Maori Language Week and I am so delightful due to many things I have learnt throughout this week and especially at my course to-day. To-day with our facilitators, James & Gerhard, I learnt to create a site using "new site". Instead of using our classical site, I used "new site". Way easy to work with and it is not time consuming. I am already planning in my head what to do for Term 4. I will definitely use "new site" to set up my site for Term 4. I still had to use google draw to help me with my buttons and I used screen shot to links all my other sites (colleagues) onto my site. The using of "new site", is less time consuming. If I need to edit it, I will only press it twice and it will let me edit on the spot. To insert links, I just need to embed the url or insert video straight into it if it's in my drive. I have also set up my calendar to book my exams for next Frid…
